Male or female dark brahma?

This is the only one with penciled feathers now.

Dark one is def a roo
Wouldn't be surprised if Pepper is one as well, unless pepper is the dark one?

 

[sgorajec]

Pepper is the dark one. Salty is almost as dark now too. Even Nugget is getting pretty dark.

We have Brahms's-Dark- And our males seemed to give us questions until we knew for sure they were Roos. But the look pepper has seems to be a roo. Our Roos were very slow to feather out. And was the smallest of brood but biggest chip on shoulder. Would take in anything or anyone
To my uneducated view Roos are darker than the pullets and their neck and heads have a "different" look. You should be able to tell if you have one of both....soon

Pepper and Salty have looked very much alike since the beginning & Scrambled & Nugget looked alike. All of them but Scrambled seem to be getting very dark. I'm getting nervous because we can't have Roosters. Ive become very attached to them and hate to give them away to someone who is going to eat them. Plus, if Scrambled is the only girl I will need to try to find some females who are a similar age.

Ok,I'm thinking we might have 3 roos & 1 pullet. Please let me know what you think...this is Scrambled, who I think is my only female...

 

[sgorajec]

This is Nugget.

Scrambled looks like a pullet
Hate to say it but if you are having a hard time distinguishing the rest from scrambled....I'd have to say cockerels :/
Our females were no brainers about that same age, like yours, we had a hard time convincing ourselves the others were cockerels, but indeed a couple weeks later it was plain as day. BTW the three look like they carry themselves as Roos as well.
Better to get sexed, rather than straight run if you have rules against cockerels.
